*The roster data of Native Americans committed
to Federal BOP custody for this analysis were current as of January 29, 2008. BOP
uses race standards set by the Office of Management and Budget in that an American
Indian or Alaska Native is a person originating from any of the original peoples
of North and South America (including Central America) who maintains tribal affiliation
or community attachment. For purposes of this report, only U.S. citizens were included
in the BOP count, and data from Alaska federal courts of jurisdiction were excluded.
